Transcript

Allen Lyle: Okay Sarah, normally by now, I have found my favorite products. No matter what it is, I've found it. I'm having a hard time this time. You haven't found one, have you? Sarah Gutterman: I have found one actually. Allen Lyle: Oh really? Sarah Gutterman: I have, indeed, yes. My favorite product here at the show right now is this solar hot water heating system by Velux. It's not a new product per se, they've had it in Europe for many, many years, but they are rolling in out right now in the US. So it's new to our national market. There are a couple of reasons why I like solar hot water heating systems in general. One is it accesses free energy which who doesn't like that. Allen Lyle: Right. Sarah Gutterman: Secondly, the systems are equally as applicable for residential or commercial projects or new homes or building or retrofits. And third, I think solar heating systems are a very good and relatively low cost way to make a big impact in terms of energy use and also just general environmental footprint of a project. Allen Lyle: And you have got to admit it. It looks really good up there. Sarah Gutterman: It looks good, and this system by Velux uses the same roof space as a regular skylight. So you don't run into the same kinds of Homeowner Association pushback as you were to some of the other PV systems. Allen Lyle: But I still can't believe you already found your favorite. Sarah Gutterman: Well, you know, I've known about this product for a while. I have watched as Velux has rolled it out into the marketplace and I'm real happy about it. Allen Lyle: Alright well, one more task for you then, help me find a favorite.
